The interview segment “Heart” occurs late in
the interview at 55:05 to 55:13. The
Milluk word meaning ‘heart’ occurs four times earlier in the interview, in two
interview segments on this website. See
“Sad”, which is at 27:47 to 28:01, in the overall sound file of the interview; and
“Happy”, which is at 28:01-28:15.5, in the overall sound file of the interview.

In the interview segment “Happy”, we can hear
Lolly say:

[ g̯ǽ·l də‿luwɛ ] ‘He/she is happy’, then:

[ g̯ǽ·l dəʔ‿luwɛ ] ‘He/she is happy’.

There, we assign the glottal stop that we
hear in Lolly’s second token of the expression to the third person possessive
proclitic pronoun / də / ‘his/her/its’, which also translates as ‘their’ with
an added third person plural marker / ʔiɬ /.
What we hear in this interview segment “Heart” gives us reason to
question that assignment, since in this interview segment, we hear a glottal
stop at the beginning of the word meaning ‘heart’, without a proclitic pronoun
in front of it.

lúwɛ

[ luwæ ]

&

[ luwæ ]

We can hear the word | lúwɛ
| ‘hearts’ from Mrs. Peterson in the sound file of phonographic disk side 14602
B, at 1:47.50 to 1:53.0. We phonetically
transcribed it there as [ lúwæ̆ ] ‘heart’.
We use the breve diacritic to indicate that the vowel in the second
syllable sounds short. The word is in a
phrase which seems to be a false start, but that is followed by a complete
sentence:

[ wí‿kwi‿tɫə‿g̯ɪ́nwɪȼʼa‿l ],

then followed by:

[ g̯ɪ́nwʊȼʼútuwa lúwæ̆
tɫæ̆‿x̣‿kʼáʰ ].

This compares with a line of the dictated
Milluk text titled “A deserted poor woman was given food by shags”. The line of text is in Jacobs first (1939) volume
of Coos texts, on page 19. The line of
